Multiple stretchable materials have been successively developed and applied to wearable
devices, soft robotics, and tissue engineering. Organohydrogels are currently being widely …

Tissue engineering holds great promise to develop functional constructs resembling the
structural organization of native tissues to improve or replace biological functions, with the …

Extracellular matrix fibers (ECM) such as collagen, elastin, and keratin provide biological
and physical support for cell attachment, proliferation, migration, differentiation and …

The amazing adhesion of gecko pads to almost any kind of surfaces has inspired a very
active research direction over the last decade: the investigation of how geckos achieve this …

We present a simple yet robust method for fabricating angled, hierarchically patterned high-
aspect-ratio polymer nanohairs to generate directionally sensitive dry adhesives. The …

Multiscale, hierarchically patterned surfaces, such as lotus leaves, butterfly wings, adhesion
pads of gecko lizards are abundantly found in nature, where microstructures are usually …

Over millions of years, biological subjects have been in continuous combat with extreme
environmental conditions. The fittest have survived through continuous evolution, an …

Widespread approaches to fabricate surfaces with robust micro‐and nanostructured
topographies have been stimulated by opportunities to enhance interface performance by …

Gecko‐inspired angled elastomer micropillars with flat or round tip endings are presented as
compliant pick‐and‐place micromanipulators. The pillars are 35 μm in diameter, 90 μm tall …

Abstract This Feature Article aims to highlight our recent efforts to develop more robust
gecko‐inspired dry adhesives and their applications. Due to recent progress in micro‐and …
